Bravo! Fantastic transformation :)
You'll probably get a lot questions so you might want to make a list of floor tile, granite, cabs, stain, etc :)
Very nice!
Monica

Wow, what a difference! Details, please.

Lovely! I love the detailing on your cabinets - what are they?

You did all that for 16K? WOW!

Congratulations and enjoy!

WOW! What a wonderful transformation! Even though it's the same footprint, I can't believe it's the same space. It is very fresh and contemporary-looking. Fantastic job! And George is so cute, too!

Wow, gorgeous! Everything goes together perfectly. Great job on the backsplash (abutting, no space), lovely tiles. Enjoy!

Zecchini your new kitchen is FABULOUS! Love your beautiful cabinets with the crown molding. The layout looks so spacious and open. Your color scheme is warm and inviting, your backsplash and granite is gorgeous! Great Job!

I love your bar stools. Where did you get them? Do they swivel? I am trying to find a similar pair for my kitchen island.

Really rich and elegant! The cabinets are particularly beautiful. I love how the vertical detail from the 5-panel drawers and doors go up through the slab drawer fronts. So great with the soffit gone!

The kitchen is gorgeous and little George is cute. Is the granite Giallo Veneciano?

Great job. The fridge placement is great now too! Looks incredible!

It is beautiful. I need to know how you did it so inexpensively. It certainly does not look inexpensively done! Please do post details - I can use all the help I can get keeping costs down.

Amazing Transformation Zecchini,
The rich deep dark cabinets with your tile
floor and beautiful granite truly changes this room.
The backsplash blends perfectly. The hardward and
the stainless appliance are awesome. The elements
look great. I love your can lights much nicer than
the dated fixture from before. The stools/chairs look
better in this dark elegant space.
Love it all. Pat yourself on the back this kitchen
is a work of art.
I especially like your sweet little dog.
That makes the room even more inviting. ;)

Great job, looks excellent!

Congratulation on a beautiful kitchen. The cabinets' color and design are striking. The crown molding is a very nice finish. I like the refrigerator in the cooking run of cabinets. Enjoy!

WOW!! What a transformation. Love your cabinets. The color is so rich looking and really transforms the space. You have a beautiful kitchen and should feel really proud of the results.

Wow, that is a huge change from the before pictures! Looks very nice!

I think moving the refrigerator was such a great idea. It sort of stuck out before and created that tiny cabinet before turning the corner to the sink. Lovely, spacious kitchen! I wish you wonderful times and delicious meals in your new space.

That looks wonderful. You did a great job.

Wow, how did you do all that on 16,000? Looks great, very nice.

What a wonderful kitchen. I especially like your backsplash and your cabinets. They seem to fit the area so well, not over powering just perfect. When you moved the fridge it made a huge difference. Seems to flow better now.
Great job,
Sunny

WOW! What a transformation! Such a great use of space! Very well thought out and very classy. Enjoy your beautiful new space!

Wow! That is an incredible transformation and a beautiful new kitchen. Also, George is definitely a cutie.

Great job! Looks beautiful. Isn't it amazing how taking down those 3 tiny walls helped? (What were they doing there anyway?!) The counter to the left of the range is so much more accessible AND you can see the beautiful cabinets in that corner. It makes the kitchen look bigger because you are seeing MORE cabinets now.

Boxerpups quote: "The stools/chairs look better in this dark elegant space."

I noticed the stools too in the before/after and thought "she decorated around those stools!" I suspect you bought those stools knowing how the kitchen would look in the future. ;)

How warm and welcoming this kitchen is! Beautiful job!

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Love those beautiful cabinets!

Absolutely beautiful! I'm envious! I'm contemplating a very similar kitchen in both layouts and look. Seconding the request for details on your gorgeous materials, plus room dimensions & ceiling height. Thanks!

Your kitchen looks beautiful and well planned. You were so smart to extend your peninsula. I was afraid to do that and am now sorry. We could have used another 12 - 24 inches.

Your backsplash also looks good w/o the grout.

Congratulations! I'm sure you feel the difference and never miss your old kitchen! It was fantastic transformation! You did manage to completely turn the space around. Enjoy!!

Very Nice!!!

And your fur baby is adorable!!!

Holy cow, what an amazing transformation! It is really warm, rich, and wonderful! It is so welcoming. Your stools look sooo good in this new space. Great idea to swap the fridge and pantry, and extend your peninsula to add a trash pullout!

All this for $16K? Are you kidding me? FABU!

(And your little dog, too! *cackle, cackle*)

Nice. I like your floor - it's hard to get a neutral floor in the first place, but this one actually adds subtle texture while still allowing those cabinets to pop.

Good job all around.

Astounding transformation! You REALLY did a great job! It's so elegant and it looks so much larger than before. Your cabinets look like fine furniture. And that's a beautiful color of granite! Congratulations and Enjoy!!

Oh wow, it just looks fantastic! What a beautiful transformation. Your decisions to take out those small pieces of walls, move the fridge, extend the penninsula, and lose the soffit were all great, successful decisions. The dark, rich cabinets (love the spice drawers!) and the just-right granite make it so inviting. I cannot imagine how you did all this on $16K, it looks like you spent three or four times that amount! Congratulations on such a wonderful finished kitchen, may it give you many happy years!

Hello everybody! I got a lot of good compliments on my kitchen. Thank you so much! It was so much work, but at the end it was worth it!

Thank you!

Totally helpful! Our measurements are nearly the same. This gives me a lot more confidence in going w/ darker cabs because I thought it may be too much for my space, but now I can see it can come out gorgeously!

I hope you enjoy your fantastic new kitchen!

What an awesome transformation!

Zecchini, I love your kitchen renovation so much from the color of the cabinets, to the hardware, to those big beautiful floor tiles on the diagonal, to that gorgeous backsplash, to those counters are stunning and that little doggie really enhances the pictures. Thanks for sharing some information about the kitchen to give me ideas.

Gorgeous kitchen!

Did I miss the brand of cabinets somewhere? I can't believe this was a $16K remodel. This gives me hope that I may be able to afford new cabinets one day.

Laurie

What a transformation! It's like a major facelift for your house. Gorgeous and I canNOT believe you did that for 16K. That gives me such hope for our remodel. I adore the crown molding, very rich.

Please share the brand of cabinets. They are beautiful and the porcelain floor is a great color with the cabinets. You have done an outstanding job. Great idea to move the frig and take out the walls.
